Yesterday I finished up stitching my little winter cross stitch. I absolutely love these little seasonal patterns from Gazzette94. If you remember, I stitched the autumn pattern last year. So two of the seasons are now done, two more to go.
Now that I have finished this little cutie-pie I can start on my February projects, a valentines card for DH and a birthday card for DD :)
You cannot really see it in these pictures but the Aida fabric has little bits of silver woven into it which makes it look a little icy - perfect for a winter stitchery I think.
Another little happy thing today is that I bought my first bunch of spring Daffodils. These January and February are always punctuated with the bright yellow blooms in my home - store bought until the ones in my garden come into bloom, then it's garden fresh blooms :)
This little winter cushion ornament will more than likely be displayed on my kitchen windowsill where I can see this happy little red Cardinal (which is completely not native or found here in England) while I cook and wash the dishes.
I love the little winter cushion, brightens up the dreariest of days.
ReplyDeleteA very happy cushion! I'm sorry you don't see cardinals in the UK, though. I didn't know that. We see them all the time here in the American south. I love catching sight of a flash of red through the branches of leafless trees.
ReplyDeleteIt's just lovely! I love cardinals and have lots in my garden. I will have to add this to my stitching list. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh it's just darling. You have a lot of patience.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design. I love it. Daffodils are one of my favourites always bring cheer to a room xx
